One of our Year 6 students, Zyleika, represented Tauranga Synchro at the Australian Nationals Synchronised Swimming Championships which were held in Sydney last week. Zyleika had an outstanding competition. She placed 2nd (out of 38) in her individual Figures Competition and then placed 2nd with her partner Maya in their Duet Competition against competitors from Australia, Hong Kong and China. Zyleika then swam with her team in the Open Team Category, coming 3rd which was an excellent feat as the team of 6 had only been swimming together since January this year – they were also up against a lot of older competitors in that very tough category.

We would like to congratulate Zyleika. She is is an excellent ambassador for both her Club and Papamoa Primary School.
